must. keep. reminding myself that paying $42 for an adorable bowed collar my puppy will IMMEDIATELY grow out of is not a good idea.

I didn't realize I wanted a dog collar with a bow on it until now. Thanks Fran.

I've been eyeing so many things I don't need today. Was looking at Buddy Belts earlier. I told myself his current harness is fine...but if I happen to see them at the pet store next time I go I may just...look at them. >.>

Also eyeing pet beds...he already has one...but there's just so many cute ones!

I keep eyeing coats for the Stripey Dog (Mick and Murph are double coated, so they don't need anything) but Sis keeps reminding me that Riley has more coats than I do...

Big ticket items - I'd love to get a new scooter or a good agility tunnel for home practice. I do have a dog fund set aside for wants (including agility lessons) but money seems to flow out much faster than it flows in. *sigh*

A rain jacket/cover (a decent quality one that isn't near the $100 mark), 20/30 ft durable ropes for hikes, a good leather harness, affordable booties for winter pavements drowned in salt, toys that don't get ripped to pieces within seconds, and leather leashes. Oh - a huge box of bully sticks, like 50 or 60 of some really nice thick ones.
